Show your impact via UC Delivers
UC Delivers stories show how UC ANR is helping Californians improve their health, wealth and the world around them. When we explain UC ANR contributions with examples such as improving food safety, enhancing community development, preparing for wildfires or adapting to climate change, it's easier to understand the value of investing in research and extension.
UC Delivers can help you…
- …get recognized!
UC Delivers shares the impact of your extension work, positioning you as a leader. UC Delivers posts are shared with UC ANR senior leaders, county directors and Strategic Communications, who share them with funders/donors, legislators and other key stakeholders. UC Delivers are often featured during ANR Town Hall's “Stories from the Field,” and can be found on UC ANR's About webpage. Stories are also posted in the national Land Grant Impacts database, and shared with members of Congress.
“These stories are critical resources for me when meeting with legislators. Many still don't understand who we are, but with a good story in my pocket, I make our work very real and relatable. Data and facts don't win hearts and minds – good stories do!”
~ Anne Megaro, UC ANR's Government and Community Relations Director
